Family and friends say they are heartbroken and devastated after six students and a coach from a New Mexico university were killed in a fiery crash while returning home from a golf tournament in Texas.
Authorities said Tyler James was driving the students back to New Mexico on Tuesday night when the crash happened. Those who knew him said it had been his goal to be a head coach, and he was excited to be there.
Troy Drummond, Howard Payne University’s head golf coach and associate athletic director for operations, said James played for three years at Howard Payne and helped coach the team his last year. “Hockey was a big part of life for a while, but his true passion is golf,” his brother said. “He loves golf. His favorite is Jordan Spieth. And he always loved to watch Jordan, follow Jordan.”
